Re: Cosplay sky trustworthy

Just know, there is NO such thing as an approved 501st vendor.

Anything you may get may or may not be approvable. So do your homework (as suggested by others) and be prepared in case you need to do extra work to make things approveable.

Re: Rogue one TK?

Hero has a different number of ear bumps on the rank bar on the helmet. Also have the bubble lenses (which suck to look through. ) I'm just wondering about the belt portion. Debating a post trash compactor han solo and it requires the hero TK belt. There are these things called CRLs..... http://dat...

Re: Rogue one TK?

Does anyone know if there is a CRL for Rogue One TK's in the works? I can't find anything about it. I ask as there are patrolling TK's with backpacks and pauldrons I quite like the look of. But, from my research the rogue TK armor has a slanted split on the sides instead of vertical. In some cases ...

Re: Nihilus

Thanks again for the guidance. I am almost ready to submit pictures, but I have a couple of questions: 1. Should I wait until everything is ready, or submit photos as the various parts are ready? Does seeing the bits help with assessing the overall look once it is finished? 2. What poses, closeups,...

Anyone have any good recommendations for an approvable saber? I'd like to do it for a gift for her. A li...
